Overview

Mission

The rose city rollers mission is to serve women, girls, and gender- expansive individuals who want to play the team sport of roller derby, connect with an inclusive community, and realize their power both on skates and off.

What it reported doing in 2024

We hosted more than 70 games in 2024, showcasing our 19+ teams and programs with over 425 skaters and members. Our skatemobile continued to bring the joy of outdoor roller skating to the portland community, reaching neighborhoods with 50+ events. Our rent n roll lending library provided free skates and gear to more than 300 skaters, and scholarships made it possible for over 15% of our membership to participate.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
